The theme of our latest issue is Education and Urbanism. It’s a topic that fills us with excitement as we contemplate the fulfilled potential and future possibility. This issue we look beyond the classroom as simply an environment for teacher and student, to consider the role of our schools and universities in building social capital within our towns and cities.
We’re grateful to our contributors and, of course, to all the designers featured, whose work is what makes this issue. Their perspectives and insights are ever fresh and enlightening, as the following excerpts from Indesign #84 so wonderfully highlight…
